The old Yan family had just had breakfast, and Yan Jiecheng was sitting outside drinking tea and chatting with Yan Bugui, who was cleaning his bicycle, when he saw Yu Haitang and Yu Peng coming to the courtyard.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you waiting for us in the courtyard?" When she saw Yan Jiecheng, Yu Haitang shouted with a loud voice. It was not without reason that he later became the announcer of the steel rolling mill.
"Haitang, Yu Peng, you are here so early. I have been waiting for you. If I didn't know what time you would come, I would have been at the gate of the courtyard to greet you." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Dad, these are Yu Li's sister and brother. You met them once when we got married. Do you still remember them?"
"Hello, uncle." Yu Haitang and Yu Peng said together.
"Remember, come here to play with your sister. Why are you standing in the courtyard? Come and sit in the house." The third uncle said.
"Dad, no need, I'll take them directly to that house to find Yu Li." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Haitang, Yu Peng, how did you get here? You two can do it. You can find the right place after coming here once." Yan Jiecheng said as he led two people into the house.
"We came here by bus. It was in Courtyard No. 40. I remember it. I asked someone and they came here." Yu Li said.
The three people came to the house. Yu Li was cleaning the house because her sister was coming.
When Yu Li saw her younger sisters and brothers coming, she took out peanuts, melon seeds, candies, pastries, and canned food.
When all four people were seated, Yu Li poured tea for them and said to Yu Haitang, "Have you two decided where to go?"
Yu Haitang said: "Didn't the two of us come to your house because we didn't think of a good place to play?"
It was Yu Li and Yu Haitang who made the decision. Yu Peng simply wanted to hang out with his sister and brother-in-law. Both of them earned wages and were not willing to spend money to have fun.
"Then let's chat for a while first. It will take at least a week before we meet again. My brother-in-law will take you out for dinner at noon. Let's go out to play again in the afternoon." Yan Jiecheng said.
"It's okay to go out and play again in the afternoon, just in time to chat with my sister. My sister is always busy chatting with her mother every time she goes back," Yu Haitang said.
The four of them chatted mainly between Yu Haitang and Yu Li. Yu Haitang was also very talkative. He could talk non-stop. Yu Peng kept talking, eating, and occasionally interjecting a few words.
Mouth. It seems that the control in Lao Yu's house is not light. Every time Yan Jiecheng goes there, there are peanuts, melon seeds, and candies, which are prepared because his uncle comes to the house. Yan Jiecheng is an audience, listening to the two people complaining about Lao Yu.
At.
If you complain like this, what kind of image does my "eldest brother" Lao Yu have, and how can I, Yan Jiecheng, be respected by you?
"Yu Peng, let's go out to eat. It's more comfortable to stay outside. I'll take you to see this courtyard."
Yan Jiecheng took a plate and filled it with some peanuts, melon seeds, and sugar, and took Yu Peng out to sit at the door of the Yan family's house. He complained to Lao Yu that it was not good to hear. He gave the sisters some private space.
Yan Bugui watched Yan Jiecheng bring a plate of peanuts and melon seeds, and then followed him with a teapot from the room.
"Boss, go get some tea." Yan Bugui said.
Yan Jiecheng went back and got a paper bag of tea leaves. For Yan Bugui, he would not eat his own tea even if it went bad. What he prostituted for free is fragrant, and what he prostituted his son for free is also fragrant.
"I remember your name is Yu Peng, right? Yu Peng, how are you studying?" Yan Bugui said to the third uncle.
"It's okay, I'm among the top few in the class." Yu Peng said.
It's okay. As a primary school teacher, Yan Bugui has a lot of contact with children of this age. He can also chat.
One of them talked and the other ate, and they seemed to get along well. The third uncle could also chat about the novel.
"Xie Cheng, what are you having for lunch today? Are Haitang and Yu Peng cooking at home?" Yan Bugui asked.
"We didn't eat at home. They finally came over and we went out to eat. After eating, we played outside in the afternoon." Yan Jiecheng said.
Yan Jiecheng directly refused to give Yan Bugui a chance to ask for money for the meal. It would hurt people to say it, and talking about money hurts feelings.
"You can eat at home. It's expensive to eat out." Yan Bugui still wanted to continue fighting.
"It's not expensive. We haven't prepared anything at home. The four of us can't eat much. It takes a lot of effort to make it at home. We should have a good rest during the holidays."
Yu Haitang and Yu Peng want to have a meal at Lao Yan's house. Yan Jiecheng either pays for it or buys chicken, duck and fish. The Yan family will distribute the food fairly, and the two guests can't even eat well. What are they trying to do?
While they were chatting, Yu Haitang came out.
"Brother-in-law, take me to He Yuyu's place and I'll chat with her for a while," Yu Haitang said.
"I'll take you to find her. Is she at home today? Yu Peng is leaving. My brother-in-law will take you to the courtyard to see her."
The three people came to the middle courtyard. Widow Qin was washing clothes again. There were so many families living in the middle yard, and there were only two faucets in total. Why was there only one with the surname Qin?
"Xie Cheng, have you got a relative at home?" Widow Qin said with a smile. Widow Qin is a senior white lotus and greets everyone she sees with a smile. Otherwise, no one would hate the widow.
"Sister Qin is washing clothes. Relatives are here. This is my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. I will take them for a walk." Yan Jiecheng said.
Pointing to He Yuyu's house, he said to Haitang: "That's He Yuyu's house. You can go there by yourself. If she's not there, I'll go look for him in his brother's house."
Seeing Yu Haitang knocking on He Yuyu's door, Yan Jiecheng said to Haitang: "You two chat, I will continue to take Yu Peng to see."
Yan Jiecheng took Yu Peng to the backyard to take a look. It was quite different from the two-in-one courtyard where Yu Peng and the others lived. This courtyard would still look pretty if it were renovated. The elegance of that time can still be vaguely seen. Yu Peng's family
That courtyard house is better preserved, but its architecture and layout are not as exquisite as this one.
There was no movement at Xu Damao's house. Maybe Xu Damao was drunk again yesterday. The second uncle seemed to be playing with the child again, which would cause trouble if the child watched too much. The deaf old lady's house should be far away and not easy to mess with. She and Lao Yan's family are not in conflict with each other like this.
most.
After walking around for a while, Yan Jiecheng saw that all the things on the table had been taken away by Yan Bugui. Yan Jiecheng said to Yu Peng, "Go to your eldest sister. There is a supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the hospital. Let her take you to see what you want."
Just buy whatever you want.”
When Peng and Yu Li came back, they brought back several bottles of soda.
Yu Peng doesn't want to drink tea, but wants to drink soda. He's embarrassed to tell his brother-in-law, but he'd be polite to his eldest sister.
The three of them were sitting in the yard chatting again, and Yu Li was chatting with Yu Peng alone. It was different again. She just urged you to study hard, don't be naughty, and don't cause trouble. She was like a little mother. Yu Li, you are such a scumbag, how can you have the nerve to urge others?
